"All the workers were very polite and professional. They cut down a dead pine tree. Great work by all involved. The tree had been shedding its bark because it was dead. Not only did they do a great job in a timely manner but they also raked my yard, leaving it cleaner than it was before they started. They gave me a great price and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a job well done."

"This was a fantastic company! They did a great job in a timely manner. I was impressed by the care taken by the workers to be sure nothing was damaged when trees were cut and trimmed. They took away the cut branches and even used a leaf blower to finish up. The owner was friendly and concerned to be sure everything was properly taken care of. The cost was very good too. I'm very impressed and will be using their services again for my upcoming landscaping work. I highly recommend them!"

"Very pleased with the fast, professional service. I would normally have got 3 bids for something like this, but having it done the same day I called out-weighed maybe saving some money at the cost of missing more work. A large tree in the front yard broke a dozen feet off the ground, and fell onto another tree splitting it but remaining suspend in the air. With someone coming out, may as well remove the dead tree in back too. I stayed home from work and called 3 top rated tree services from Angies List for bids. 2 were coming out later in the week, but Norbert from Good Morrow could be over in an hour. Price quoted seemed reasonable, but this was the first bid. Chatting, he mentioned there was a crew finishing up a job near by, and they could do everything today. I might have saved a couple hundred dollars with more bids. but the convenience of same-day service and not missing al least 3 more days of work sold me. Crew of six showed up at 3:15 in three trucks with 2 chippers, a bob-cat with a grapple, and a stump grinder. By 4:15 they were grinding stumps and were probably gone by 5:00. Wonderful to watch pros at work. Unfortunate the videos I shot on phone exceed the 10 MB GIF limit..."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.
